STORM HEART displayed fairly useful form when making his final start on the Flat in France a winning one back in March and he very much appeals as the type to make an immediate impact now going hurdling for his top NH yard. Eagles Reign and Jeaniemacaroney head the dangers, with Hey Whatever also in the mix.
